The birthplace of the Ottoman Empire. Beauty and the Beast: Arabians and Thoroughbreds. Ahmed Vefik Pasha, saviour of monuments. Kütahya ceramics; Anatolian flowers; the Yıldız Palace albums; the Turkic-speaking peoples; the great rakı tasting. Plus: feast food – freshly baked çörek
Christian Tyler, author of Wild West China, The Taming of Xinjiang, assesses Ergun Çağatay’s extraordinary volume of photographs of the wider Turkic world
The çörek is full of symbolism, and its association with religious festivals reflects earlier pagan customs. All sorts of buns, loaves and çörek are eaten at Sabantoy, the colourful June festival celebrated by the Altay, Çuvaş, Tatar and Başkurt peoples of Central Asia.
